Marmaris Turkish Bath is the Turkish version of the Finnish sauna or the Russian steam bath, but its difference is that its characteristics emphasises the use of water, not steam.
The history of Turkish baths goes back many centuries and shows similarities to the baths of ancient Greece and Rome. It also gained popularity during the Victorian era, being one of the best ways to cleanse and relax the body.
The best thing to do, would be to visit the hammam during the first days of your vacation, before plunging yourself into the local traditions, forgetting about all of your problems and therefore enjoying your holiday. It will also prepare your body for long days full of sunbathing.
To this day, the hammam wasn't just a place to wash, it's atmosphere will give you an unforgettable experience, acting on your body and soul. You cannot claim to have been to Turkey without paying a visit to a Turkish bath, no way!
The entire procedure takes around 1:30 to 2:00 hours.
You can enjoy the hammam on any day and at any given time.
Tranport from your hotel to the hammam, and back.

He came to the school after being sacked, as a conscientious objector, from the Birmingham College of Art. A most gifted artist ranging over a wide variety of activities, he quickly put the school in the forefront of pottery. Many of his pupils have become studio potters, teachers, experts in ceramics, painters, silversmiths and designers.
His years of retirement were full of activity. His German wife Irmi, whom he married after the death of his first wife Phyllis, encouraged him to travel widely in Europe, visiting the art galleries containing the works about which he had so eagerly taught. In his own pottery he remained enterprising to the end

From then until 1961 he worked as a Quaker in France then Japan, where he met his wife, Takako. In 1962 Wolf became a research student at King's College, London where he played a formative part in developing the ethos, and multi-disciplinary approach of its war studies department. He rose to become reader emeritus. As a teacher Wolf specialised in military sociology, especially civil-military relations.

Rainforest Habitat
Students will understand that a habitat is a place where plants and animals naturally live. It provides the food, water, and shelter that are needed for survival.
Students will know where the rainforest habitat is located. Most rainforests are found in the Tropical Zone, which circles the earth around the Equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Students will know that the climate of the rainforest habitat is best described as wet, warm, and sunny. In the Tropic Zone, the sun shines directly overhead about twelve hours each day. The temperature usually remains at a moderate 80(F. The rainforest habitat is the wettest land habitat; it rains an average of 200 days of the year. In a year, the tropical rainforest often receives over 200 cm of rain and up to 632 cm.
Students will realize that the tropical rainforest is home to many plants and animals.
Plants: About half of the plant species on the planet live in the rainforest. There are so many different species that scientists have not yet identified all of them. Over 250 types of trees can exist in a single area of rainforest habitat.
Animals: More types of animals live in the rainforest than anywhere else on land. Most prevalent are the 42,000 varieties of insects that inhabit the tropical rainforest.
Symbiosis: Survival is made easier when plants and animals form symbiotic relationships. Many plants and animals that live together interact in such a way that is beneficial to each other. For example, trees provide shelter for some animals, which in turn spread their seeds.
Students will identify the three layers of the rainforest.
Canopy: The tops of the trees form a leafy layer, resembling a roof over the forest. Here in the canopy, the chlorophyll in the leaves traps sunlight and combines it with carbon dioxide from the air and water to produce food in the form of sugars, a process known as photosynthesis. Most of the food for the forest is produced in the canopy.
Understory: This middle layer contains plants that are not as tall as trees. In the understory, the air is damp and the light is dim because of the large leaves of the canopy.
Floor: The forest floor is the lowest layer. Few plants live on the floor because of the low light condition. There are, however, many terrestrial animals that inhabit this layer.
Students will understand the ways in which plants obtain nutrients. Because heavy rains often wash minerals and nutrients from the soil, some plants have roots that have been adapted to obtain nutrients from the surface of the soil. Other plants get nutrients from the water that is left on their leaves. Also, decomposers break down dead material, releasing nutrients for plants to absorb.
Students will know that rainforests help humanity in many ways. A quarter of the world's medicine is derived from plants found in the rainforest. This habitat also keeps the air clean and the temperature low, produces oxygen, and prevents the Greenhouse Effect from over-heating the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide and heat.
Students will realize that the rainforests are being destroyed. Many impoverished countries sell lumber from their rainforest habitat and plant crops on the cleared land. When large areas of forest are cut down, the topsoil washes away leaving hard ground in which trees cannot grow. Animals are also affected when the trees are cut. Without the forest, animals that make their homes in this habitat become extinct. It is important that we save the rainforest habitat.
Classroom Activites
Before viewing the video
Ask the class what they know or have heard about the rainforest. Make lists on the board of: locations, amounts of rainfall, and kinds of plants and animals found there. Save to compare with what is shown on the video.
After viewing the video
A Rainforest Collage Divide the class into three sections. Assign three areas: the canopy, the understory, and the forest floor. Have students find library books on the rainforest and place on a special table. Each group must do research in their area. Be sure there is a good writer, a good artist, and a good organizer in each group to assure good results. Have the groups determine the plants and animals likely to be in their section of the rainforest. Have each student draw a sketch of his area and let the group vote on the final selection. Select one student to draw a light sketch of the whole rainforest (treetops and trunks) on a large sheet of paper. Cut the paper into thirds and give each group their part to fill in the details. They may use felt, paper, green string (for vines), chalk, paint, tissue paper, cardboard, etc. in creating their rainforest plants and animals. Put the thirds back together to make a striking bulletin board of the rainforest, which will include a great deal of information that the students have learned through their research and the making of the rainforest collage.
Make new lists on the boards to compare with the information given in the section on "Before Viewing the Video." Discuss.
Rainforest Booklets: Keep the three groups formed above or regroup into new ones. Select a group for each of the following topics: What A Rainforest Gives Us, How the Rainforest Is Being Destroyed and How We Can Help Save the Rainforest. Each group makes a list of the items in their category. Each student then selects one or more items to illustrate and write a brief paragraph.

Our boys Black Adjustable Strap Sandals are fun sandals that "squeak" every time your little one takes a step. Not only will they put a smile on your little one's face, but you will know where they are…especially important when you are out in public. Squeaky shoes encourage movement and exploration and are also a great motivator for beginning walkers.
Our son is a tip toe walker. I'm a very busy mom of 3, student and many other things. It's been hard to determine when he's on his toes and for long. Thanks to these shoes I've been able to determine that he doesn't run on his toes! There's still much to do but these are very helpful!

DC Comics has introduced new superman characters for the Death Metal event
DC Comics recently introduced new superman characters to take part in the final battle of the Death Metal comic event; More details have now been released.
As the Dark Nights: Death Metal storyline is set to end in the near future, DC has introduced a series of new characters to its great Multiverse through a one-part comic to take part in the final battle of the event. . This one-part comic is called Dark Nights: Death Metal the Last 52: War of the Multiverses. Since the comic is now available, its author, Magdalen Visaggio, posted a picture on his Twitter account to introduce the characters in the comic; Characters who are present but no story of their past is presented.
Visagio wrote the story of First & Last Men, illustrated by Paul Plutter; A story that pits a large number of superman characters close to him against a series of completely new evil characters to fight with each other. The main characters of this story also came from a distant future in the DC world. "Well done," Vesaggio tweeted. Stories were written about the past of these friends and were to be published in one of the books of the Death Metal event, and I'm not sure now if that happened. So let me keep you posted.
These characters are Sint (in a blue suit), Shepard (in a long coat), Savior or the savior (in armor), and finally Last Sun or the Last Sun. Saint, Shepard and Severus belong to the year 14000 and are considered the ancient chiefs of the L family. The year 14000 is the future in which Superman has lost control of his legacy and the meaning of his name. In this version of the future, the letter S no longer means hope at all; Rather, it shows brutal power and domination. They are all children and grandchildren of Superman born to Connor or John (Shepard is the son of Connor and Severus is the son of John, who are both very similar in appearance and strength).
READ The design of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro was revealed in a 3D animation
My magma is also present; He is the last Sun or Clark Kent himself. The Last Sun or Last Sun is what I call the "Captive Superman"; A Superman who has lost his will because of his children because they want to use him as a weapon: he is a living atomic bomb, and being charged with solar energy has completely changed his body. I wanted to present the worst case scenario for Superman: a scenario in which his greatest strength, his goodness, is taken from him; When he can do "nothing" to save himself and those he loves.
Clark is still in that body but is a prisoner; This is while Sint makes all the decisions. The ancient Al dynasty did not rule the earth but worked to turn it into hell. They jealously guard their cryptonic blood and make sure that this race, which for thousands of years created little nobles with godly powers, is safe. Among the three seniors is Prince Sint, who represents the Kryptonite ideal; Someone who has a lot to do with Eradicator. Cruel, cold-blooded and intimate. Shepard has been designed as an anti-hero since the 1990s; Wild, lawless and impudent.
Savior does not fully represent crude and filtered power; "This character has armor that enhances his abilities. … They are all in the spotlight now." Visagio further tweeted that if he could not write a story about Superman again, one storyline would be enough to make him proud of himself as a writer. The one-part comic book Dark Nights: Death Metal the Last 52: War of the Multiverses is now available; Meanwhile, part 7 of the Dark Nights: Death Metal comic book series will go on sale on January 5, 2021.

Ailey/Fordham Students Perform at Holland Dance Festival in The Hague
By Fordham News on	 November 19, 2007 Arts and Culture, Inside Fordham
Members of The Ailey School performed at the Holland Dance Festival earlier this month.
When The Ailey School—the official school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater—made its first-ever appearance at the Holland Dance Festival in The Hague on Nov. 14 and 15, the 13-member troupe included 12 Fordham University students.
Eleven of the students—Jacqueline Burnett, Taeler Cyrus, Fana Fraser, Daniel Harder, Demetia Hopkins, Ethan Kirschbaum, Jennifer Locke, Levi Marsman, Amy McClendon, Jordan McHenry and Lilli-Ann Tai—are enrolled in the four-year Ailey/Fordham Bachelor of Fine Arts program.
They performed with Ailey fellowship students Lindsey Holmes, a Fordham junior studying literature, and Christopher Bordenave in a joint program with the Rotterdam Dance Academy. The program featured Eroica, choreographed by Francesca Harper, and First Exposure by Darrell Moltrie. The Festival, which ran from Oct. 30 through Nov. 18, offered workshops and dance performances from many of the world's best dance companies and schools.
The Ailey/Fordham BFA program, inaugurated in 1997, is a fully accredited four-year degree program in which students take a broad curriculum of dance techniques while enrolled full time in non-dance academic courses at Fordham. At the completion of the program, The Ailey School and Fordham present their students in a fully produced performance in The Ailey Citigroup Theater.

The University of Strasbourg, the Bureau of Economic Theory and Applications (BETA-CNRS, UMR 7522) and the ERMEES research team are delighted to announce a one-day workshop on macroeconomic issues raised by the euro crisis, to be held on Friday October 16th, 2015 in Strasbourg.
This workshop aims at providing some perspectives on the current crisis in the eurozone from a macroeconomic point of view.
As a matter of fact, the euro crisis is not only due to financial causes. Several macroeconomic imbalances have played a major role in the burst and in the deepening of the euro crisis. These factors have been magnified by an incomplete monetary architecture and are the underlying causal mechanisms of the euro crisis. Among these contributing factors, we can quote exchange rate misalignments, inflation rate differentials, housing markets dynamics and private sector indebtedness.
Green Growth and Sustainable DevelopmentKeynote speaker: Ansgar Belke (Institute of Business and Economic Studies, University of Duisburg-Essen), Paul de Grauwe (European Institute, London School of Economics), Gunther Schnabl (Institute for Economic Policy, University of Leipzig).Publication opportunities: The participants of the workshop are invited to submit their works to a special issue of Brussels Economic Review (http://www.dulbea.org/BER). The submission procedure will be specified after the workshop.
Jamel Saadaoui (BETA, University of Strasbourg).
The workshop will be held in the European Doctoral College, 46 Boulevard de la Victoire, 67000 Strasbourg, France. This link explains how to get to the College.
Before April 15th, 2015: Full papers or abstracts (300 to 500 words) should be submitted by email to ermees@unistra.fr. Papers should mention: title of communication, name(s) of the author(s), affiliation, corresponding author's e-mail address, postal address, telephone number.
By June 15th, 2015: Authors will be informed of the decision of the scientific committee.
By July 15th, 2015: Please confirm your participation to the parallel session before July 15th.
By September 15th, 2015: Full papers must be sent before September 15th in order to have high quality discussions. In any case, the final draft must be sent before October 2nd.

Shaw Defeats Holy Cross for Big District Win!
The Shaw Eagles football team won a hard fought battle against district opponent Holy Cross on Friday night. Congratulations to all the coaches and players for their superb effort. This win puts us in a rematch game with Brother Martin to open the playoffs. Here are some photos from the game.


Maymo the dog is an expert shopping-cart pusher. And Penny the puppy is totally into it.
This is Maymo the lemon beagle pushing Penny the puppy in a tiny shopping cart.
Apparently, they're going to the park, and this is the best means of transportation.
And they're both, like, totally into it.
Of course, the park isn't next door, so Maymo and Penny have to go on an adventure.
So Maymo pushes Penny down the sidewalk.
And on a boat for some reason???
And FINALLY they make it to the park.
And have, like, the best time ever.
And basically they just had the greatest adventure to the park ever.
Watch the whole video here and find more of Maymo on Facebook.


The notion of an Earth satellite has become outmoded. In present practice satellites eventually become orbital debris, and this is no longer acceptable. An integrated program provides a solution to this problem, and reduces costs. A system of platforms is provided for all Earth orbit equipment. The number and location of these requires study. Equipment addition or removal, expendables replenishment, and preventive maintenance and some repair, are provided by remotely operated vehicles. Manned visitation for unusual situations is supported.
Again, the methods of tending the platforms require study, indeed are an area where considerable effort should be expended. Issues include whether ion propulsion is used for periodic visitation; and designing equipment for interfacing with remotely operated maintenance tenders.
The design of the platforms themselves also requires careful study. They should provide standard interfaces for a variety of equipment, with specialization of platforms possible. Power is provided by one or more standard power modules. As noted previously these might fly separately from the platform "equipment bus"; there is a "constraint box" for mechanical coupling and a standard electrical coupler. The mechanical coupler includes "clamps", so that the entire structure can be made rigid, for transport, emergencies, etc.


Feeling stressed? Why not unwind by occupying the most relaxed, care free creature in the animal kingdom. It's still a work in progress and we've a lot of ideas to flesh out the mechanics of the game but as it stands it's a simple physics sandbox that allows you to embody a cat and play with a multitude of colourful cat toys.

In a large measuring cup or small bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir lightly and let sit for about 5 minutes or until it starts to bubble (proof).
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, rye flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and caraway seed and stir until well mixed.
Add the proofed yeast mixture, oil, molasses and mustard. Stir well, then attach dough hook and knead for about 5 minutes. The dough will be kind of heavy and might not feel as elastic as some other breads. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl rubbed with a little extra oil. Let rise for one hour or until it's about doubled in size. Punch down the dough. Divide it into two parts and shape each into a little football shaped loaf. Arrange about 6 inches apart (leave enough room for it to rise) on a large baking sheet. If desired, brush with a little beaten egg and sprinkle on more caraway seeds.
Let rise at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake in the preheated oven for 38 to 40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Let cool. Slice and serve.


There are millions of offices all around the world, with tens of millions of workers in them, but they all have one thing in common: the annoying colleague.
1. Talking loudly on the phone or using speaker phone to the annoyance of everyone else.
2. Sharing TMI (too much information) about personal things.
3. Asking for help with the same tech problems again and again, instead of simply taking the time to learn to do it properly.
5. Leaving messes in the break room or other common areas and not cleaning them up.
6. Writing passive-aggressive signs or post-its and leaving them around the office, instead of just speaking to someone to address an issue.
9. Gossiping about everyone and everything around.
10. Listening to music loudly or — worse — singing and whistling along.
11. Peeking over the cubicle tops to start a conversation.
13. Acting as the self-appointed office police (when they are not the manager or boss).
14. Bringing, preparing, and eating incredibly stinky food to the office.
16. Taking care of personal business at work.
19. Coming to work when you're obviously, contagiously ill.
21. Or not taking care of personal hygiene at all….
24. Not taking responsibility for mistakes — or worse, blaming others.
25. Asking for donations for gifts, charities, or selling your kids' school fundraiser stuff.
27. Telling inappropriately personal stories about what you did last night/last weekend.
28. Bringing treats into the office, even when you know your coworkers are on a diet.
Most of these annoyances boil down to simply being inconsiderate of others in the workspace. In truth, you probably spend more time with your co-workers than almost anyone else in your life, so it pays to be thoughtful and kind.


Did you just buy a new home and in the market for a new toilet? There are a lot of toilets that you can choose from. Below are five tips that you can use to find the right toilet for you and your family.
A toilet usually will come with a comfort height and standard height. The standard is the one that you're usually used to, and the comfort is one that is 2-3 inches higher. Unless you have small children using the toilet, the comfort height toilet's the one that is most comfortable.
These days, the most water amount that toilets can use when it flushes is just 1.6 gallons. If the toilet you're replacing is old, there is a good chance that it's going to be more efficient. But if you're really looking to decrease how much water you use, think about one that is made for conserving water or one of the dual-flush toilets. The dual-flush has its low-volume for those times when you'll need just a small amount of water and the standard flush for when you need more flushing power.
The two-piece toilets have separate bowls and tanks and they're the usual toilet that most homes use. These function very well and a lot of people are happy with them. But there are some who prefer the one-piece models. These have their tank and bowl fused into one unit. The one-piece models are a lot easier to clean and they offer a very sleek look and smooth profile that some prefer.
There are elongated or round bowls. As their names imply, the round bowls are pretty round and are great for the smaller bathrooms. The elongated bowls have an oval shape and they're 2-3 inches longer when compared with round bowls. Those who have the elongated bowls say they're more comfortable.
It used to be just gravity flush toilets in the home. These types of toilets use water weight for providing the power needed for flushing. This is a simple flushing mechanism, so the toilets don't need a lot of maintenance and they're great for a lot of people. But toilet manufacturers started looking for some ways to save water and they found some new ways that they could make flushing power. This resulted in pressure-flush or assisted-flush toilets. These types of toilets work with air to up the flushing pressure. This means you have a more efficient, powerful flush.
These are five tips that you can use for finding the right toilet for your needs. You want a toilet that's going to be comfortable, efficient and work best for your household. These tips will help you with doing that.

Success shouldn't be the goal.
Sarah Lewis, the first keynote at ASCD this year, was simply incredible. She shared many, many stories that resonated with me on failure and why our perspectives needed to shift on this thought. The main one is the thought that there is a difference between success and mastery. She talked of archers…archers aren't shooting for success. They don't hit the target once and quit. They work until they are to a point of mastery…where they hit that target over and over again. We should strive for MASTERY with our students. Success one day on one test does nothing. But mastery…which would look like a love of learning, or a true understanding of a concept, THAT is what we should want to see from our students.
Mastery transcends grade levels and test scores. It is a LIFE trait.
I LOVED her point that the mountain climber that reaches the top of the mountain can look over and see another mountain to climb. His journey is never complete…you can't climb ALL the mountains. She related it back to that the smartest people in the world KNOW how little they know. How mind blowing is that?
Fringe benefits of failure….you have a rock bottom to build on.
This also connects to Angela Watson's "Truth for Teachers" that I listed to too this week. She talks about the need to let go of searching for the elusive search for perfection. Be ok staying in beta. Put out the most viable product that can get the job done, instead of stressing yourself (or your family!) trying to be perfect in every way. Enjoy that you can always tweak or define as you go along, with support from yours students. Be ok staying in beta.
I ordered Sarah's book, "The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery"after talking to her backstage. She was as down to earth and eloquent there as she was up in front of us all. She paused before she spoke, each word carefully constructed to articulate the exactness of what she was trying to convey. I know that I wanted MORE of what she was sharing. Her book is excellent.
My favorite passage is a story from Sara Blakely, the entrepreneur who developed Spanx, valued at one billion dollars in 2011. Each night at dinner when growing up her father would ask, "What did you fail at today?" Those conversations helped recondition what she thought and how she felt about failure. Failure became not the outcome, but the refused attempt.
Let's encourage our peers, our teaches, our students to be deliberate amateurs. You never know what you will find out or be able to answer.

The dangerous myth of the driverless future
On 7th May 2016, Joshua Brown left a family trip to Disney World, Florida. He was heading back to his home in Ohio when his car struck the trailer section of a truck. He was found dead at the scene. At first, it seemed there was nothing unusual about the accident—just one road death among the 38,000 that occur in the United States every year. Investigators found that the truck had been pulling out of a side turning on Highway 27. They assumed that one of the drivers was at fault. However, several weeks later, when the details emerged, it became clear that Brown's death was anything but a routine motoring accident.
Quite the opposite. The car involved, an electric Tesla Model S, was in autopilot mode at the time of the crash. The incident is thought to be the first time that self-driving technology has caused a fatality. Brown, a 40-year-old former member of the US Navy Seals, loved his Tesla, especially its self-driving features, which he saw as the future of transport. In this he is no different from the many political and business leaders who have high hopes that this technology will solve myriad social problems, from the shortage of urban land for homes to air pollution. Brown, however, went so far as to give his car a pet name: Tessy.
According to the manufacturer, the Tesla S model's autopilot feature "allows Model S to steer within a lane, change lanes with the simple tap of a turn signal, and manage speed by using active, traffic-aware cruise control. Digital control of motors, brakes and steering helps avoid collisions from the front and sides, as well as preventing the car from wandering off the road."
Brown had enthused about how Tessy would take over the driving on highways while he relaxed, looking at the passing scenery as if he were on a train, or even watching DVDs on a portable player. He was such an enthusiast for Tesla that he posted numerous videos of his driving experiences. One shows how he narrowly avoided an accident when a white truck cut across in front of his car, alerting him of the need to take control.
Another of Brown's videos on YouTube attracted the attention of Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, prompting Brown to tweet: "@elonmusk noticed my video…I'm in seventh heaven!" The New York Times reported that Brown told a neighbour at the time: "for something to catch Elon Musk's eye, I can die and go to heaven now." Brown's confidence in the autopilot was such that he tested it to the maximum, explaining in one shot, as the car rounded a curve, that "this section in here is going to be very, very difficult for the car to handle." Ironically, the situation that his car appears to have failed to handle was relatively routine. On a straight section of Florida highway, a truck with a trailer moved across Brown's path but the sensors on the Tesla seem not to have detected its presence. The car, remarkably, tried to squeeze under the trailer, smashing its windscreen and going on to hit two fences, crossing a field and coming to rest against a pole 30 metres south of the road. It was Brown's over-confidence in the system that almost certainly killed him. A laptop and portable DVD player were found at the scene, though neither were running when the Florida Highway Patrol arrived. The truck driver Frank Baressi, who rushed up to the wrecked Tesla, claimed that a Harry Potter movie was playing on Brown's DVD player.
Tesla's statement implied that the very newsworthiness of the crash was a testament to the excellent safety record of the Tesla Model S. The company said in a blog post that its cars had driven 130m miles in autopilot mode without a fatality, whereas on average, there was a fatality for every 94m miles driven on US roads. This meant, Tesla suggested, that its autopilot was safer than human control. Tesla did not respond to questions about these figures. But its claims did not appear to take into account the real nature of the autopilot function, which can only be used for simple driving on major highways, where accident rates are far lower than on conventional roads with their frequent junctions, sharp turns and traffic lights.
At a time when driverless technologies are sold as safe, green and liberating, the incident was a major embarrassment. The enthusiasm has almost been like that during the space race. In January, President Barack Obama proposed $4bn of subsidies for driverless technology and vehicle safety technology over the next decade. George Osborne has been another devotee. The self-styled austerity chancellor wrote a more modest cheque—the first £20m of his £100m Intelligent Mobility Fund was this year allocated to eight projects, ranging from driverless shuttles for disabled people to the development of autonomous-vehicle-testing centres. In March, Nissan announced that it would make its first partially autonomous car at its Sunderland plant. The company's decision, announced in October, to maintain its investments in Britain means that the first of these vehicles may roll off the production line in 2018. The ardour is preventing a cool assessment of the technology's problems, not least because the language in this field is laced with spin.
The car that Brown was driving was not in the context of traffic today "driverless" or "autonomous"—a legion of difficulties still stand in the way of introducing a truly autonomous car and there is an element of desperation among companies to be the first to come up with the mould-breaking model. Last year VW and Toyota invested $22.6bn in research and no car company can afford to be left out in this race.
And it's not just the car manufacturers. Uber has recently started offering rides in its "driverless" taxis in Pittsburgh. The hype has been enormous, as if we were about to see all cab drivers sent to the dole queue. But they can rest easy—for now at least. These "driverless" taxis have two people in the front seats: a test driver and an engineer. Moreover, when a reporter from Business Insider went for a ride, the test driver had to intervene at least four times. And the car could only drive in a limited area, you could not change the route once programmed and there was only room for two passengers. The trip was free, though.
Google is also working on the technology. In a statement at Congressional hearings in March, Chris Urmson, the then head of Google's self-driving car division, suggested safety was the great impetus. The development of driverless cars, Urmson said, would "pave the way for the deployment of this innovative safety technology, which will help reduce the more than six million traffic accidents that are reported in the US every year." In support of this, he said that in seven years of test driving, there had been only 17 minor accidents, which, on the mileage travelled, was not very different from the average among human drivers.
The real story, however, is more complicated. While he was correct that most accidents were caused by inattentive human drivers, cars on autopilot can behave erratically. Test cars react to minor events, such as a plastic bag blowing across their paths, as if they were dangerous and stop suddenly, surprising the driver behind who, rightly, perceived no risk. This has led to several rear-end shunts. The worst incident, from Google's perspective, happened this year when a Google Lexus pulled into the path of a bus travelling at around 15mph, causing extensive damage to the car. In a statement on the accident, Google said that the test driver failed to intervene when the car made an error and pulled out in front of a bus: "The Google AV [autonomous vehicle] test driver saw the bus approaching in the left side mirror but believed the bus would stop or slow to allow the Google AV to continue." This was a bit of a giveaway. It showed that, far from being autonomous, many such vehicles still rely on human intervention to prevent accidents. It's the same reality that undermines those manufacturer safety statistics.
Another advantage cited by Urmson was that driverless cars would free up some of the 3,000 square miles that are currently being devoted to car parks in the US, an area the size of Connecticut. To arrive at this claim, Google assumes not only that cars become driverless, but that car sharing could become more commonplace. It assumes that its boring little pods, which will lack any human-operated controls, would be a communal resource: Uber-type taxis, that would carry passengers all day and take themselves off to some far-flung car park at night, presumably on less valuable land. It assumes, too, that since most ordinary cars sit unused 95 per cent of the time, the requisite number of pods—and the number of car parks for each of those pods—would be far less than with conventional cars.
Another telling assumption was the suggestion that driverless cars could reduce the need for public transport. Urmson cited the case of a "woman in Southern California who lost her ability to drive 15 years ago [who] told us, 'my life has become very expensive, complicated, and restricted' since she had to start paying drivers and enduring long waits for buses and trains." It was an instructive case. To anyone not caught up in the stampede, making buses and trains more frequent might seem a more obvious response than building an army of wizardly pods.
What effects would the widespread introduction of this still half-hypothetical technology actually have? Google and other developers claim it would reduce congestion and so bring environmental benefits. But even on the most optimistic predictions, many of these vehicles will be driving around with no passengers, so that assumption is questionable. Add in the expectation that current public transport users will then shift to cars, and it becomes clear that there is no reason to expect that driverless technology will lead to empty roads or free up acres of city-centre car parks.
The idea that people will readily opt for communal vehicles is also questionable. There has been some success through car-clubs such as Zipcar. London has 186,000 car-club members, with access to just under 3,000 vehicles, according to the annual survey of car-club use; there are 25,000 fewer independently-owned vehicles on London's streets as a result. Zipcar reckons this figure could be tripled by the end of the decade, but its General Manager in the UK, Jonathan Hampson, cautions against assuming that we will all be driving communal cars one day: "Car clubs, though, are not for everyone and there are many people who still aspire to car ownership, even Millennials. I don't see a time when all cars will be shared." We can't assume, either, that this aspiration will disappear with automation: some will still want the freedom to leave their stuff on the seats overnight, and—perhaps—a flashy vehicle on their drive. The AA describes the presumption of sharing as "vastly hyped."
Google argues that the technology will be liberating both for existing drivers and those who can't drive. Instead of wasting time at the wheel, people could use their mobile devices as bus and train passengers do. Hundreds of millions of people would have more time to spend with the internet which, for the tech firms, is a clear case of "what's not to like?" As with Tesla, the tone of Google's submission seems to be that driverless cars are just around the corner. In his evidence, Urmson made clear that test drivers were aboard all Google's vehicles. But it wants to do away with drivers altogether, and especially the regulations that assume their existence. Urmson suggests that human drivers are a safety hazard. Even "having controls that allow a passenger to change its trajectory or operate turn signals or headlamps… may make the operation of the car less safe," he said.
The autonomy of cars is defined on a scale from zero (conventional cars) through to five (cars with no accessible controls such as accelerators or steering wheels.) Level four is a fully autonomous car that does not require a driver at all. Currently the technology is hovering around level two (at least two functions of the car, such as steering and braking, can work automatically) and level three, where it is possible "to completely shift 'safety-critical functions' to the vehicle, under certain traffic or environmental conditions." Google is determined to create the impression, at least, of aiming to hit level five in the near future. But why?
The notion, promoted by both Google and Tesla, is that the driverless car revolution is already upon us: that soon, autonomous cars will drive us to work and then go back home to pick up the kids and take them to school. Independent analysts and many within the industry, are wary of firm predictions, and agree that level four is a long way off and level five further still. Edmund King, President of the Automotive Association (AA), found something of a consensus at a recent meeting in Germany of key players. The collective view was that to actually buy and use a driverless car on the highway will not happen until 2030.
"Even then, the 'driver' who would not be driving, would still need to be in the car because at that stage 99 per cent of cars would not be driverless, and therefore there will be the problem of the interaction between driverless and non-driverless cars." King went on to pose a question that has been much ignored. Do people actually want driverless cars? "In a Populus survey of 26,000 of our [AA] members, 63 per cent say they still enjoy driving and 69 per cent say they are not ready to take their hands off the wheel." Attitudes, of course, could shift. But during the switch to driverless cars, motorists would adjust to being, like airline pilots, the monitors of a self-driving system. Just as initially computer users were all expected to write our own programs and now only a handful of experts can, driving will become a lost art. The potential period in which drivers are expected to intervene only in an emergency may result in increased casualties.
Google and Tesla are pushing for a legal framework for its vehicles to ensure that once the technology is developed, it will be possible to sell them straight away. But there are enormous implications that need to be understood before any framework can be developed. What, after all, is the aim of this technology? If it really is achievable, it will throw every lorry and taxi driver out of work (assuming the technology allows there to be no driver), possibly worsen congestion and weaken the argument for public transport. It is not being a Luddite to worry.
As Tesla is learning in the aftermath of Joshua Brown's accident, the legal issues are mind-boggling. Who is going to be allowed to "drive" these vehicles and where? Codes of practice for testing "driverless" vehicles on public roads have existed since 2015 and addresses a number of issues relevant to the testing of driverless vehicles—from vehicle and test driver requirements, to insurance, data protection and cyber-security issues—but primary legislation will still be required. And then the biggest teaser of all—who is to blame for a crash when no one is driving? There is currently no answer to that question. Volvo has attempted to pre-empt the situation by accepting liability for any collisions involving its autonomous vehicles. This is an easy promise to make when there are no cars on the road, but it might be far more difficult if there were a series of incidents. Hacking could also cause accidents. In a test, hackers got into the system of a Jeep Cherokee and played with the controls.
Another possibility is that they may be too safe. John Adams, a geography professor at University College, London, points out that fully autonomous cars would have to be programmed to avoid pedestrians and cyclists. So any stroppy pedestrian or cyclist could stop a car just by walking in front of it. Manufacturers are also worried that the predictability of autonomous cars might make them targets. Conventional drivers might feel happier to cut up a self-driving car, knowing that it will brake. Manufacturers are considering whether self-driving cars should hide their identity. Conversely, programming the vehicles to allow a collision in particular circumstances would create a legal nightmare.
If the introduction of autonomous cars proved to be viable, then the disruption to the automotive industry, which currently produces 91.5m vehicles worldwide each year and has a turnover of some $2 trillion, would be enormous. No industry stands still, and the industrial past cannot veto the future. But when the issue of bailing out Detroit has been a live question for Washington over the last few years, you might have thought it would give policymakers pause. Instead, they have grown giddy on the hype.
One of the early UK-funded experiments, which it is hoped will start next year, is the platooning of trucks on a motorway. The idea is that several lorries can be driven by just one person in a lead vehicle, with the rest, which are without a driver, remaining at a safe distance behind in an autonomous convoy. Even here, with such a limited experiment, there are difficulties. As King points out: "In Holland when they did this, they found that smaller trucks would try to squeeze in between those in the convoy which posed a risk to both the driverless and driven vehicles."
Some of Osborne's money is going to the Oxford Mobile Robotics Group. Its head, Professor Paul Newman, is convinced that the technology will be extremely beneficial, but won't be drawn on the timing: "This autonomy technology is infused in an environment of computing, communications and machine-learning that this species has never seen before. These questions of pinning the date of its introduction down make no sense in that environment. In a year, I will have on my laptop such different ideas of how we are going to do stuff, this conversation will look old." Progress may be fast for people who make the same journey every day, but "if you wanted it to take you anywhere to anywhere in any weather, it will take between three and 30 years."
Milton Keynes is at the vanguard for the driverless world. Newman is developing a pod that will take people from the station along set routes on pavements. The project is running late because there was a problem with the manufacturing, but the first runs, on a limited route in a pedestrianised area, took place in October.
This is a place that has seen the future before. It was once the model of a car-based tomorrow. It is an urban area—calling it a city or even town is to give it an impression of coherence that is undeserved—designed around the needs of the car user. Step out of the railway station and you soon find yourself in Midsummer Boulevard, an inappropriately named street built as part of an American-style grid system. The dual carriageway down the middle is supplemented by parallel service streets that double up as parking spaces. There are hotels and offices but few pedestrians because, just as in most American cities, the distances between facilities deter people from walking. The design of Milton Keynes, with its emphasis on the car, was the result of a battle between proponents of different visions for the new town. An alternative concept, with a monorail supported by a comprehensive bus network connecting the neighbourhoods, was rejected.
There is the risk that the impetus for driverless cars could result in yet another attempt to mould cities around individual rather than collective transport systems. While much of the thinking behind the planning of Milton Keynes has now been rejected and many planners and politicians realise that urban areas are not suited to unlimited and unfettered access for all vehicles, autonomous cars could be seen as a panacea, a technological fix for problems that cannot be solved that way, as they involve fundamental issues of investment, planning and congestion. We are still righting the wrongs brought about in the 1960s and 1970s when town centres were destroyed and replaced by multi-lane highways, gyratories and six-storey parking grounds, all because ubiquitous individual car ownership was regarded, erroneously, as the desirable future of travel.
It is now widely accepted that the opposite is true: the key to health and prosperity, both of people and commerce, is walking, cycling and the use of public transport, and this is where the investment should be made. Governments risk being diverted from formulating coherent transport policies by the advent of a technology that may never be viable.

Ontario's first cable-stayed bridge is starting construction on the Trans-Canada east of Thunder Bay. The new Nipigon River Bridge replaces an existing two lane structure with a dramatic signature bridge that has three towers rising to 70 metres above the river. Carrying four lanes and a walkway, the main span is 139 metres long, and total length is 252 metres.
Michael Gravelle, Ontario's Minister of Northern Development and Mines says the bridge, "will be a magnificent structure and will certainly improve travel for countless local residents, visitors, businesses and families.
The engineering design for the bridge is by McCormick Rankin Corporation of Mississauga, in conjunction with Buckland & Taylor of Vancouver, who have designed cable-stayed bridges around the world.
Bot Construction has the $106-million contract to build it and Hatch Mott MacDonald is doing construction contract administration services. The bridge will be built in two stages.
The new crossing is part of a 104-kilometre expansion of the Highway 11-17 corridor, of which some portions are nearing completion. The Nipigon River bridge is being built in two stages and is expected to be completed in 2017.

It's the ground almonds that make this dessert so moist.
To prepare the pears, peel them with a vegetable peeler then halve them. Use a teaspoon, to scoop out the pips in the centre, and pour the lemon juice over them. Set aside.
Heat the oven to 180C, 160C fan, 350F, gas 4. Grease the flan tin with butter and put a disc of baking parchment in to the base. Spoon in a little sugar and use it to coat the inside of the tin, then tip out the excess. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of hot water, or in a microwave over. Leave it to cool slightly, but don't allow it to reset.
Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and creamy, and a trail can be seen in the mix when the whisk is lifted up. This is easiest done using a tabletop mixer, as it can take 5 to 10 minutes, so it's a long time to be holding a hand-held whisk.
Fold the melted chocolate mixture and the ground almonds into the whisked egg-yolk mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they're stiff. Fold 2tbsp of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, to loosen it.
Pour the chocolate mixtures into the bowl with the egg whites; pour it to one side of the egg whites rather than in the centre, to avoid knocking out too much of the air from the egg whites.
Fold both mixtures together, using a large metal spoon, or a spatula, taking care not to overwork it. Pour the mixture into the tin; hold the bowl just above the tin while pouring – again, so that the air isn't lost from the mixture.
Arrange the pear halves on top, cut-side down. Bake the cake in the centre of the over for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it's set in the centre and the mixture doesn't wobble. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. While the cake is still hot, warm the apricot glaze or jam and brush it over the top. Dredge the cake with icing sugar just before serving. It may be served warm or at room temperature.
